Ltd. PPRROOJJEECCTT BBAACCKKGGRROOUUNNDD::: 1. SSUUBB---PPRROOJJEECCTT TTIIITTLLEE::: 1. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has decided to upgrade the existing 7.0m wide undivided two-lane road of NH-9 from Pune (PWD Km 40+000) to Solapur (Km 144+000) to 4-lane capacity. 2. SSUUBB---PPRROOJJEECCTT DDEESSCCRRIIIPPTTIIIOONN::: 2. The Project Road i.e. the Pune-Solapur Section of NH-9 is a very important link providing connection between the two state capitals: Mumbai and Hyderabad of India. The growing mismatch between road infrastructure and vehicle population in this section of the road has led to traffic congestion and reduced level of services. 3. Thus, as part of the National Highway Development Program (NHDP), NHAI has taken up the 4 laning of the mentioned project section under NHDP-Phase-III program (Package No. NHDP-III/DL4/04). 4. The proposed widening and strengthening work would mainly involve: (i) raising the formation level wherever it is required; (ii) widening of existing two lane road into four lane divided carriageways; (iii) Pavement strengthening and provision of drains, service roads, sidewalks, pedestrian crossing, cattle crossing, underpasses, bus bays and truck lay byes etc. The project salient features are given in table 1.
